Summary of Action
In short, One Shot is about a man due to be executed.
We are introduced to this man, kneeling and praying. He is in a plain, minimally furnished small room. A clock is ticking. Revealing an agitated disposition, the man gets up and continually taps his fingers on a table. He bites his nails. His eyes twitch and in general, he appears nervous. Oddly, he then places a pillowcase/balaclava over his head and walks to join an already formed line. This line comprises of other masked figures standing against a wall. A gun is brought out, which comes into the shot pointing at the main character. After a short pause, the screen goes black.
Camera work ideas
At first the camera is panning from up to down and we can see a man praying. As the camera is panning we can observe his fingers to then tap on a table. He is biting his nails and his eyes express his feelings of nervousness, with a zoom emphasising this. Then he places a balaclava on his head and the camera zoomed in and focus on the head while he physically moves. Suddenly the camera zooms out (maybe fast) and we can see a line of people waiting to be executed. Then the gun will appear in the frame of the shot and it will fade to black.
I'm pretty impressed with these screenshots from Leanne and the camera ideas from Andria. They actually form into reality the various random pictures and ideas that have been floating around in my head the last few days. As mentioned on Leanne's blog, the way the end has been pictured is slightly different from how I'd previously pictured it, but that is by no way a bad thing. If it works on film then Im all for it, but if there are other ways that we could sample, as in, the gun appears from the bottom of the screen and then zooms to focus on the mans face, creating an intensity, that too is always another option then.
Nonetheless, just seeing it all coming together is really exciting!!
